Voting before the meeting suggests that the council members mind is 
closed to any discussion that happened, or may happen at the meeting 
itself. Personally, I don't like the sound of that.

However, if the council members wish to vote entirely by email 
and announce the vote result (no discussion) at the meeting that's 
fine, as the vote happened after discussion was done.

In summary, votes must only be cast after discussion is done.
That can be all by email, some at a meeting, others by email after the 
meeting.
